Good Questions: Really Cool Divider Tips?

Okay - I've spent my NYC life in tiny tiny apartments and just moved into an 1100 sq. foot loft. Having tiny furniture and no idea how to break up the space....especially to section off the bedroom. The thoughts are paper walls, bookcases, etc. Any really cool room divider tips?

Thanks, Melissa

Dear Melissa,

You have an AMAZING space! Wow. Ursula is drooling ;-).

You definitely want to divide up the spaces, but you don't need to use only dividers to do it. In fact we would recommend using your furniture arrangements to divide and focus a few specific areas in order to keep the room open and light.

The place you really want a divider of some kind is for the bedroom. There are many choices, including using a two sided, open bookcase to section off the bed as Alison id here in her Florida apartment.
